I love this city, I hate it sometimes, too. In an effort to keep track of my feelings about the Big Apple during my time here I try my best to chronicle them in a letter to this crazy place. Welcome to Dear New York–a series posted...
I met this lady at the Further With Ford Conference.
We had breakfast at the same table earlier that day, so when I saw her during a tour of Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant later, I spoke. Nothing serious, small talk. I work at Glam.com. I have a blog I neglect. The usual.
Let me tell you how I know Jesus loves me. I see signs all around me. Messages that I know are specifically for me. One of the best things my Godmom ever told me was that God meets you where are you are. He'll use that...

I need some time management skills. Either that or get used to not sleeping. I'm so tired I could put my head down at my desk and sleep. I haven't had a nap, an intentional nap, since I've moved to New York. There aren't enough hours in the...
